#### Locking Axes

To prevent probe movement in one or more axes, select the appropriate axis locking icons from the Probe Toolbox.

For example, if you want to lock the probe's Z axis from moving, select the Lock Z Axis icon. You can then click anywhere on the CAD and the probe will be able to move freely in the XY plane, but motion in the Z direction won't take place.

Note that on a Vision DCC machine, moving the graphical probe also moves the FOV (Field of View).

These items are grayed out and unavailable for selection unless you have a PC-DMIS license for the Vision or Laser modules. See the PC-DMIS Laser or PC-DMIS Vision help files for more information on using the Probe Toolbox.
